At one point, after more arguing between Shapovalov and the umpire, Nadal approached the net for a brief chat and seemed to be trying to calm the irritated Canadian. Shapovalov refused to be mollified, and Nadal won the first two sets with relative ease. It started somewhere around the middle of the third set, around the time Shapovalov started to keep his cool and make his shots count. Then Nadal started missing some more, and double-faulting. “I’m not 21 any more.”After losing the fourth set, Nadal repaired to the dressing room for more medical attention and a change of clothing.
